YAY!

I KNEW going back to work would help my diet! I'm following the GI rules, eating my 5 a day of fruit and veg and I already FEEL Slimmer so hopefully the scales will confirm it when I weigh this week.

I'm trying really hard to only weigh myself once a week as well at the moment as one of my symptoms is obsessive weighing. Once a day is usual, twice, sometimes three times on a bad day but that's rare now.

So feeling positive today for many reasons! :-D

One of these is I submitted an application for the most amazing job. I don't think I've mentioned what I do before but I am a researcher in social medicine at a university. As is par for the course with research, the contracts are temporary and my current one is due to end in Dec 2010. However, because I'm bored, I've already started the search and this job popped up on the universities website. Not only is it a 2 year research assistants job for the uni I work for now, but there is also teaching involved AND (this is the really good bit) the opportunity to do a PHD afterwards! research experience, teaching experience and the possibility of becoming a doctor! I am so hoping I get this one but it is too good to be true so the competition will be fierce.

I'm also trying to learn to drive and despite the fact that my test is weeks away, I'm already cacking myself about it. I actually had nightmares the other day! Why? Why do I allow these things to wind me up so much? Its just a sad little man, in a high vis jacket with a clipboard. Surely I can deal with this?! I am after all a fully grown, responsible adult.

Well I guess we'll find out in a few weeks whether life is on the up or if I still have to look for a job and pay for another test.

Wish me luck!
